Welcome to Half Court Hoops - Coach’s Cut! The entire idea behind Coach’s Cut is to provide film access to extended breakdowns that it is hard to create on other platforms due to copyright, time, or video restrictions. My name is Coach Gibson Pyper and I have studied X’s & O’s & created playbooks for the past 13 years. This led me to create my website The Basketball Playbook as well as this e-mail subscription through Substack. My whole goal is to always improve and learn and now I feel that I have the ability to help others along their coaching journey through my film library and just learning more about the game.

If you want to look at specific breakdowns you can find them in the Archive below. I organize different breakdowns by category/team/concept to help find them easier.

Paid subscribers will have access to a new deep dive breakdowns every Tuesday & Saturday morning studying different teams, players or offense & defensive breakdowns plus access to everything in the catalog - over 125+ posts. Free subscribers will have access to some of the breakdowns during the week and the podcast that comes out on Saturday - but the breakdown with resources & extra film will be for paid subscribers.

With my first year of head coaching under my belt, I am going to be producing more coaching content that I hope can help every current & aspiring coach out there and that is what the podcast is going to be focused on.
